htaccess and problems passing variables in the URL.

Hi,


I have following htaccess file, and I'm getting a 404 error when I try to pass variables through the URL like this.

url.com/search/?sort=hits

While

url.com/search/

works. I tried adding ?%{QUERY_STRING} behind browse.php, but it didn't work.

Any ideas?

# DO NOT CHANGE THE FOLLOWING LINES
# status: 1
# pattern_category: {$cat_path}/more{$page}.html
# pattern_detail: detail/{$link_id}/{$link_title}.html

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^detail/(.*)/(.*)\.html detail.php?linkid=$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^.* browse.php

Code (markup):

 

Bumpy bumpy.

 

try this line:
RewriteRule ^detail/([a-z0-9.-]+)$/([a-z0-9.-]+)$\.html detail.php?linkid=$1 [R=301,L]

 

Thanks, but the problem is somewhere in the other part.

RewriteRule ^.* browse.php

Code (markup):

browse.php is being rewritten to "search", like in the example above. And I'm having problems to pass the variables to browse.php.

 

try this way!

 

Still getting the same 404 error. This is how it looks now.

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^detail/(.*)/(.*)\.html detail.php?linkid=$1

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ browse.php [L]

Code (markup):

 

hopeless at reading descriptions,

RewriteRule ^/search/(.*)/?$ /browse.php?sort=hits&search=$1

or

RewriteRule ^/search/(.*)/(.*)/?$ /browse.php?sort=$2&search=$1

or possibly something totally different

if u post an actual link to the page along with how you want the urls to look that'll sort it out .....

 

chang the

"Options -MultiViews"

to -> Options +FollowSymlinks

and then try remove all the rules and try testing one by one,
